Shadyside
Strong schools draw families here
Median $421K·Walkability 3.7/10·Schools 9.0/10
If someone asks what Shadyside feels like, tell them it's a four-acre condo community with your pick of over a hundred restaurants within a mile. The lots are tight—a quarter acre each—which means the homes are close enough that the neighborhood has actual density without feeling cramped. You're thirteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which matters when you want the city but not the commute, and the Gerald R. Ford airport is half an hour away. There's a grocery store less than a mile out, and coffee shops and restaurants are scattered throughout the surrounding area, so daily life doesn't require much driving.
